Default What kind of tranny???

Im trying to get an idea of what after market transmissions are out there (auto or stick). Do you guys have a built up tranny?? if so what was the cost, where did you get it from, and what kind of power do your engines throw at them...

Go with the Tremec TKO 500 or TKO 600... the 500 is garenteed to 500hp and the 600, 600hp.... But those figures are very generous. There is people that run the TKO600 that run in the 9's ...so thats like 1000hp. They are about $1600

check out www.lentechautomatics.com for really well built AOD trannys that can handle damn near any amount of HP.

The T5 has a glass jaw. I wouldn't beat on it too hard with much more than stock power levels, because it's a ticking time bomb. It should at least be upgraded to a forged alloy gear set and bronze shift forks. Better yet just get an auto with a shift kit and B&M shifter and call it a day.
